Documents
The database will provide all the documents necessary to manage a Trainee Leader's validaton. The documents below are provided as a temporary measure to cover those individual Training Advisers who cannot gain regular access to the database.

The Appointment Process
This document shows the sequence of events for a new leader starting in Scouts from meeting with their Secion Leader to gaining their Wood Badge.

The Student Personal File
This is an electronic version of the file which is issued to each new leader when they go on their 'Getting Started' training. It contains details of the various modules both for basic training and the more advanced topics. It also lists the ways in which a trainee leader can validate each module.

Course Application Form
A course application form must be completed and sent to the County Training Manager (see form for address) together with the appropriate fee before attending the course. Just turning up to a course could result in disappointment as many courses are filled to capacity.

Personal Learning Plan
The Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is completed by the Training Adviser with the trainee as part of Module 2. This form lists the modules that need to be validated, the options chosen for validation and the dates for that validation to take place. In practice new trainees may not have the knowledge to be sure which validation methods to choose and many Training Advisers will modify the PLP during the training period.

Some Training Advisers may prefer to complete and keep the PLP electronically so it is also provided as a Word document for that purpose.
